[Coronavirus] Temporary suspension of flight operations at Austrian Airlines extended until June 7

• Break in operation for another week
• Slow restart in June under review

Due to worldwide travel restrictions caused by the corona pandemic, the demand for air travel is still low. The Austrian federal government announced yesterday that the borders with Germany and possibly other countries would be reopened on June 15. For this reason, Austrian Airlines has decided to extend the suspension of regular flight operations at least for another week, from May 31 to June 7, 2020. A restart during the month of June is under review.

“When the demand is right and the travel restrictions fall, we want to fly again“, says Austrian Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Andreas Otto.

Information on rebooking options and goodwill arrangements for passengers can be found at www.austrian.com.
